Yes Pete! A Tipi with a wood burning stove!
 Lovely and toasty warm.The key aspects are being able to keep warm and dry. Lots of light layers, heat if you can get it from some heat source like your BBQ for example. Are you camping in the Khyam Biker?

Camping in the Snow
I really have to say that I don't think I fancy that at all! I live on a boat pretty much full time and our log burner is lit all winter, and even that struggles sometimes.
The advice about multiple clothing layers you've already received is spot on. I would just add that ladies tights make a good base under leggings and trousers. One of the biggest problems though is staying dry in the snow. I'd suggest a decent set of waterproofs and good waxed boots. An Alpine sleeping bag with an insulating layer underneath should help at night, as would a bit of company! Hope you have a good time.
